What TV series are you watching at moment?

Went on a bit of a tangent and halfway through the Mare of Easttown. I like it.

I don't know, never made it further, decided to drop out where this video ends. I do have one moron co-worker who swears by it, he's also a big David Guetta fan. I guess they exist, somehow.

I already know everything about this guy.

But really... Vikings? People like this?
I gave Vikings Valhalla a chance and it's better, but still very average.

Watched 2 seasons of Vikings before quitting at the siege of Paris. I mean it's just gonna be one fight after another, after another isn't it? Quite liked the episode with the Blood Eagle torture but apart from that it wasn't much.

Just found out The Bear has been nominated for a huge amount of Emmys. Unbeknown to me it's classed as a comedy! Really? Can't recall much laughing going on when I was watching it. Just angry stressed fuckers yelling and screaming at each other. Also the girl chef has been nominated. Wow. I fucking hated her lol.

I watched most of vikings back in the day, i guess I liked it, dont really remember much other than I quit it when main dude comes back and his sons are all grown up, no idea what season it was.

the boys is funny af...

Watching The Night Of (hbo max, 2016). Man this is unexpectedly fucking good. Really great atmosphere and music. NY cynicism/sarcasm. Great camera work and visuals. Recommend.

one of the best miniseries ever made. I binged the whole thing in one night until like 6am, it was so compelling. part of what made it so compelling was that I was embroiled in my own legal problem at the time, nowhere on the scale of what Naz deals with, but the way it depicted the judicial process rang 100% true to me. powerful shit. you know Gandolfini was supposed to take Turturro's role? would've been fucking amazing. Turturro is great, he kills it, but having da boss play that type of role would've been something to see.

never watched a purely "crime" TV show before, at start I was a bit reluctant cause it seemed like it was trying too hard to be extremely coherent with irl and that felt kind snobbish... thought it had nowhere to go except court rooms and detective shit but damn, they keep juicing it and it doesn't stop... so much going on, loving every bit of it... gotta disagree about the choice of turturro's role though, don't think gandolfini would have pulled off such a goofy character... lots of lols to be found as well... 10/10 for now, I think I'm in the 5th episode...

After finishing Mare Of Easttown which was okay, but let's face it nothing special, and quite possibly absolutely massively fucking overrated I have just watched the first episode of The Leftovers. As a first episodes goes, its like the finest fruit juice known to man.

THE MAN FROM DEL MONTE, HE SAYS YES!!!!!

I picked up the Rings of Power again. Stopped after episode 2, back when it released because I thought it was utter dogshit.

It was pretty fun in the end? wtf

“Dogshit” is a very good way to describe it. The second season is coming out sometime soon. I can’t understand how it got picked up for another season. Must’ve gotten stuck to some network exec’s shoe.

Season 3 of the bear is so up its own arse wtf, whats this Terrence Malik wanna be stuff lol.

Also what the hell with the house of the dragon season finale? Is it ginna be another 3 years?

I just finished The Gentlemen series on netflix. I guess I should probably watch the movie now as I hear it's even better.

Guy Richie has such a messed up view of uk. Its just a cliche acceptance of stereotypes. I enjoyed it though. Let's just forget his mockney nonsense. 

late to the show but literally just finished season 4 of the Boys. Dark humour at its finest with some excellent fucked-upness.

This was a tough season for me.  I liked the show pretty well through the first season.  This one got incredibly dull and slow moving at times, it's like they were taking a very small amount of story and stretching it as far as humanly possible.

And yea, that finale was a complete bust.  

Industry S3E1.

The Jinx season 2. First season was amazing. This season was pretty great except for the last episode, which kinda dragged.

Chimp Crazy, suitably mental Missouri folk behaving pure septic but pretending like it's normal in ep1 of this new HBO docuseries

If you liked Tiger King give it a whirl

Liked is prob the wrong word, fascinated at how mad cunts can possibly be

I watched tokyo swindlers and it was fun

nice techno theme track too

is it glorifying the whole fuckwit finance world?

No. It has some soapy twists and turns, but there's a lot of social commentary, explicit depictions of ruthlessness and callousness of the financial establishment, how it breaks people, corrupts them, and how they deal, bend, and break with the insane pressures of the trade. The writing's sharp, incisive, and brutal. It's not wall-street-gordon-gekko-greed-is-good-rah-rah-rah, Boiler Room, or Wolf of Wall Street; there's character depth like in Succession, and it definitely doesn't glorify the hyper-wealthy - the cast are the soldiers (and some officers) in the trenches. It's not written - nor acted - as well as e.g. Billions, but I think it's worth the time to watch. Nathan Micay's synth-driven OST is also in point.

Just wrapped up season 1 of The Shield. Wanted to watch it for years. Pretty good for a first season, it's a bit dated, a bit quirky and gives me a nostalgic fuzzy feeling. But the characters are really likeable. So it's all good. Investigations on IMDb tells me that it gets better and better so I'm in for the whole hog.
